The Art of Play Feat. Greg Mews

In Episode 16 of Season 2, Lukas has a philosophical chat to big-thinker Dr Greg Mews. Greg is currently teaching and researching in Landscape Architecture at Queensland University of Technology. He also lectures at Technical University of Berlin, Yale University, University of Canberra, University of Kassel, and University of NSW. Greg has received several high-profile research scholarships, eleven work-related awards and is about to publish his next book entitled "Transforming Public Space through Play" with Routledge. He is the Founder of Urban Synergies Group, an Urban Thinkers voice for UN-Habitat and fellow Co-founder and Director of the Australian Institute of Play.

In this high-level episode, Lukas and Greg talk about play from a new materialist perspective on childhood. They discuss what matters in life, the way we think, tell stories and produce worlds within the world. An episode not to be missed!
